Started from clones the cuttings veg for 7 days then put straight into flower. I have not harvested yet but once the time comes it will be happening every 7-10 days with a minimum of three plants. I put 3-6 plants in per week so once the older plants mature and harvest the rows right behind it we finish 7-10 days later and will continue as long as I keep adding a small number of plants.
I love perpetual gardens every time I set my buddies up with a garden, we go perpetual, ranging from weekly harvests to biweekly (every two weeks). Definitely the most efficient. Looks good man, stay safe
I like it for that mean reason, problems are quick to fix and it gives you a lot of options to try different things out. I have never really done a weekly harvest so I can see it getting old after some time and thats when Ill do something different.
My first couple of rows really didnt get a veg what so ever because I only had one mom at the time. Now I am working with two so I have a good amount of clones rooting in my veg room. Some are looking at a three week veg if I dont pack my flower room.
Real kewl...i wanna do what u are doing... What is the dirt mix? What u feeding?....How big is the flower space?....how much do u expect per plant?....Looks killa bro!
Well I see I left out a lot of details. Do excuse me, alright this is what I have going on.
My idea was taking from some grower on another forum. What I did was split a 4ft W X 4ft L X 7ft H grow tent into two even section being top and bottom.
Down below I have two mothers, one gigabud and one pineapple. I take clones when ever they become ready. I Put them into rapid rooters using cloneX and with in 7-10 days they are ready to be put into solo cups for short-medium veg cycle depending on my supply. Im using a LED light source for my veg cab.
From the solo cups they go into 6in square pots which are a little under one gallon and then right into the flower chamber which is directly on top of the veg cab. Everything is obviously light proof because the veg cycle runs 18/6.
My temps are a little warm, 82-88 degree during the day. Tolerable but not ideal, once I get a little cash freed up im going to by a water cooled fixture which will allow me to maintain 70-75 degree temps with minimal ventilation if any.
My nute line up is a mixture of what ever strikes my attention at the store, lol. I use general hydroponis flora series, Pura Vida organic bloom, Advanced nutrients, humboldt county, fox farms, and some other stuff here and there. I have a lot of different feedings, thats why I have so much crap.
The cuttings get there own mix, the moms get there own mix, plants in weeks 1-2 get there own min, plants in 3-4 get there own mix, plants in 5-6 get there own mix. That part is kind of a pain in the ass but it will be worth it in the end.
I would love to pull 1oz per plant weekly, so anywhere from 3-6 but that wont happen until I dial everything in but it is possible with out a doubt. I usually average .8-.9 gram per watt using scrog so I should be able to pull 28g a plant no problem. Ill just wait and see.
My first rows are going to be babies because clones where on back order when I first started out but now I am a head on clones and they all will receive a respectable veg.
Initially when door opened, clones where literally going into flower at the first sight roots. The plants basically had to establish there root system during flower which is not a recipe for nice buds. This I know but I had to start somewhere. Now that I am head of the supply demands up above I have clones looking at a 1-4 week veg cycle. My goal is to keep the plants under 18inches so I will have to really root bound them during veg so they don't become to large. That way when I put them into the 6in puts for flower the will explode with growth and flower development. Wish my luck.
These are the next set of clones ready. I will snipped off all the tap roots to promote feeder roots and to promote equal size plants. From here I put them into single plugs using coco/perlite until ready for bloom.
I really like to throughly root the plants in small mediums. That way when I put them into their 6in sq pots for flower they explode with growth and bud development.
